It was created when you installed exim, and would be changed when
running dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. The specific question which
changes /etc/mailname is:
"Mail Server configuration
The 'mail name' is the domain name used to 'qualify' mail addresses
without a domain name.
This name will also be used by other programs. It should be the
single,
fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
Thus, if a mail address on the local host is f...@example.org, the
correct value for this option would be example.org.
This name won't appear on From: lines of outgoing messages if
rewriting
is enabled.
System mail name:"
